Extract taken from ** Only registered users can see this link. Registration is free. **

She appeared alongside Webb in semi-improvised Brit-flick Confetti. They played naturists and spent much of the film wandering around with their bums out.

The experience, according to an uncharacteristically grumpy Colman, remains a source of broiling horror. "There were certain chats that took place for an entire year before filming which suggested the nudity wouldn't be quite as awful as it was. I would have felt better about it had I been aware how much was actually going to be on display. It was," she says, glaring at the coffee table, "the worst experience of my life."

Even worse, according to ** Only registered users can see this link. Registration is free. ** with her co-star Robert Webb, they were told by the director that their nudity would be pixelated in the final cut. Only it wasn't and they found it out in the movie premiere.

Like I said in another forum, this would definitely rank very high on a "dick moves pulled out by film directors" list.

The whole "you won't see anything" trick is also attributed to Paul Verhoeven when filming Sharon Stone's crotch in Basic Instinct. "Take off your panties, we're getting some reflection. It's very dark, very shadowy, nothing will show."

The pixillation trick seems like a good basis for a fantasy story, though, with one or more young and sexy actresses (sorry, Olivia) promised that their naughty bits won't be seen. And then attending the premiere, all dolled up. And what they see on the screen sends them fleeing in horror, into the waiting flashbulbs outside...

Something I forgot to mention: It was a female director who pulled out this stunt. Mr Webb was already a celebrity at this point while Mrs Colman was an unknown actress with only TV ads under her belt.

You can see where this is going.

'She has since described the film as “the worst experience of my life” and says she was betrayed by the film-makers who had lied about how much of her naked body would be seen in the final edit.

“I now know there are some people who are just bad,” she has said. They even started legal proceedings against the film-makers but abandoned them after deciding it was better to just pretend it had never happened.'

That's a horrible trick to pull, and even worse that the director will be allowed to get away with it.

I have to say, that is one thing I really like and see of value to a forum like this; Confetti is a film I'd heard of, but had little interest in viewing or reading about, as there is just so much out there and so little time to take it all in. Now, I'm more aware. I can't help but think of the number of people who will watch that film and not know these things, or shrug the whole thing off entirely.

It's not so bad though, Mrs Colman recovered from the ordeal and went to become a famous drama actress and BAFTA award winner with several projects on the line.

As for the Debbie Issit, the director of the film, the last time I checked she was throwing a temper tantrum because her last film was ravaged by critics.
